You are in my prayers during this difficult time. Andy was a great person and had an impact on my life. God bless, I am sorry for your loss.

Andre, may the fish always be bitting and the drinks pouring up there...

Andre, our prayers and thoughts are with you. This is not an easy time , but hopefully with prayers and support God will eventually give all of you peace. We would have been there with you ,however it was more important for us to stay with Mary so that Darin could devote all his time to you and your family. Again prayers and thoughts.

Andre,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Michael and I have made a contribution to the Colon Cancer Foundation in your father's name.  You know you can call on us if you need anything.

Melanie, I am so saddened to hear about Andy's passing.  You and your family are in my prayers.

So sad to hear of Andy's passing.  He was a great friend to me during our teen years and had a way of making everyone around him smile and laugh.  He remains very special to me.  My condolences to all of his family.

I have many great memories with the Roques family. I am so grateful to have all of you in my life. You all were an extension of Gaige and my's family over the years. I loved Andy's fun spirit. I remember him driving the boat and singing the song "Shake your tail feather" right along with the radio. I will always remember that he called me "Jeaner" instead of Gina. Most importantly, I will remember how he loved. I loved that he would hug those grown boys and Kristen and kiss them and call them his "babies" in front of anyone. And how he loved you Melanie. When he spoke your name, his eyes and face lit up. My heart aches for all of you. I do believe you will see him again though...in perfect health and joy...he is just away for now.

Melanie,
Andy to me was always a bright light with a joyful spirit. I often thought of him and prayed for him when I heard about his sickness and especially his recent suffering. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Keith Dupleix
